Base materialiThe surface that touches the CPU: the heatsink base or the AIO cold plate. Plating counts, so nickel-plated copper is not copper. Direct-touch heat pipes are the contact surface, so they count as copper unless plating is stated. The direct-contact heat pipes field records the design.

Compatibility

1 of 3 differ

CPU socketsiSockets the maker lists as supported in its spec table, compatibility list or guide, written as cpu_socket writes them, e.g. AM5 or LGA1851. List each socket on its own, so LGA115x becomes LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156. When the maker names the sockets of such a family, list only the ones it names. A socket that needs a separately sold or requested mounting kit is left out. A new socket that the maker lists with no extra kit counts. LGA2011-v3 and 2011(V3) are written LGA2011-3. Threadripper sockets use AMD's names, so TR4 is written sTR4 and TR5 is written sTR5. sTRX4 and sWRX8 are sockets of their own.

AM5, AM4, LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA11501Maker product pagedeepcool.com/products/Cooling/cpuaircoolers/AK400-Performance-CPU-Cooler-1851-1700-AM5/2024/15222.shtmlRead 16 October 2026Application for Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/1151/1150/1155 and AMD AM5/AM4.

The Intel 115x family is written as LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155 and LGA1156 as the page names them.

RAM height clearanceiAir coolers only. The tallest memory module that fits under the cooler with all included fans in their standard position. When the maker gives different values per socket, store the lowest and name the others in the source note. A heatsink that does not reach over the memory slots has no height limit, so the field is left out and the maker's statement goes in the source note.

Fans

1 of 2 differ

Included fansiFans in the box that cool the heatsink or radiator, one row per fan model. A VRM fan on the pump block is left out. Speed, airflow, pressure and noise are the maker's figures for one fan at full speed, in the fastest mode and without a low-noise adapter. When a range is published, the top of the range is stored. Count is the number of rotors, so a unified frame with three 120 mm rotors counts 3 with size 120. Min speed is the lowest speed while spinning. A zero RPM stop is not stored. FDB and S-FDB are fluid dynamic. HDB is hydrodynamic. Cooler Master's Loop Dynamic Bearing is loop dynamic. If the maker gives airflow only in m³/h, convert with 1 m³/h = 0.5886 CFM, round to one decimal and say so in the source note. Connector is the fan's power lead. A separate lighting lead is not counted, and a maker cable or adapter in the box that ends in a 4-pin PWM plug counts as 4-pin PWM, even when the fan's own lead is proprietary. For an air cooler with one fan, the maker's noise figure for the cooler is the fan noise. A figure the maker does not label per fan or in total counts as per fan. When a maker table prints noise for the whole cooler with no per-fan label and the maker's own data sheet for the same fan gives a figure, the fan data sheet figure is stored.

Silent Wings 3 fans, Windows 11 21H2, Prime95 30.8 build 16 Small FFTs without AVX (two cycles of 13 to 14 minutes), HWiNFO64 7.31. Room 24.4 to 25.1 C, not air conditioned. Power limits were removed, and the review states only that heat output was over 160 W at 4.9 GHz and over 182 W at 5.0 GHz, so cpu_power_w is left out. The temperature is the hottest P-core maximum at peak load, read from the review chart. Fan speed was set by an external controller. Noise is from an Octava-110A meter at 150 mm from the fan rotor outside the case, in a room of about 20 m2 at night, so it does not compare with Cybenetics values at 1 m. The dB(A) values are the chart labels of the temperature charts. The review's separate noise curve differs by up to 0.9 dB(A) at some speeds. The reviewed unit had no fan backlight. A third test at 5.1 GHz is only a screenshot and is not stored.

Dimensions and weight

DimensionsiAir coolers only. The cooler with its included fans in the standard position, without the mounting kit. Height runs from the bottom of the base to the top. Depth runs along the airflow, fans included. Width runs across the fins. Map by direction, not by letter. Width runs across the fins, depth runs along the airflow. DeepCool's 129 x 138 x 160 mm (L x W x H) is width 129, depth 138, height 160.

The page does not say whether the fan is included. 3DNews measured 151 mm high and 75 mm deep with the fan fitted, so depth 75 is taken as fan included.
